How my life could have been so different | Creator Spotlights 

my heart broke when your nan said that people tend to not bother trying to speak to your grandad🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

This is amazing saff, made me cry!! Your grandparents are so precious 💕 love Syd xxxx

It breaks my heart that Grandad is losing his hearing. I commend him for being resourceful & learning to read lips. Nan is the most compassionate person ... she feels the pain everyone she loves is suffering.

Wish BSL was taught as a main lesson at schools! Needs to happen everywhere... always said this even when I was at school! It’s soo important to be able to communicate with everyone!

this made me aware of deaf people and the struggles they face, it's definitely something I've never thought about... Always be nice to everyone you meet, you never know that battles they're going through. 🥺

🙏 what a story

as a deaf person, i really love how you’re using your platform to share your story about being deaf and spreading awareness. this is why i love you having a platform saff. love you🤍

You showed us a vulnerable side to you we've never seen. This is so inspiring. I never knew you had so many surgeries 💗

My heart broke for Saffrons grandad for having to deal with this and feeling so isolated, and then for her nan to look after him so well and adapt everything just for him! I’m so sorry to everyone out there who are hard of hearing, just know that i’m so proud of you, keep going :) xx

This has made me quite emotional I am a hairdresser and since we all have to wear masks I have never thought about how difficult especially now it is for deaf people. I honestly feel horrible that I couldn’t make it easier for them in the past but right now I am going to order myself a mask where people of hard hearing or deaf can lip read me. Thank you so much Saff for opening my eyes ❤️

I am deaf and this is so amazing that your spreading awareness about the difficulties hard of hearing people go through x

your mum saying that she just thought you were naughty hits so close to home cause my mum thought the same. i’ve had a hearing aid since i was 6 so i’m rlly happy that you are bringing light to the topic especially during a team of wearing masks so people are aware

O the world is lucky to have you Saffron someone, who cares about not herself but evey type of person around her and the fact that ur family is really supportive. Lots of love, ur the best♥️♥️♥️🌟💕

As someone who is deaf I really appreciate this, growing up being deaf, having people think your rude loosing friends because it’s such a barrier especially after they get tired of repeating themselves, thank you for this 💗xxxxx

this made me cry, this really showed me how difficult it can be for deaf people. i love the way they can contact in different ways and be there own person.

Well done on creating awareness beaut especially with everyone wearing a mask now xx

It quite common for children to have ear problems as they aren’t fully developed, I had a lot issues and ops as well, glad this will bring awareness

This gets me so emotional this girl has been through so much and deserves the world love you saff 🥺❤️

Hey Saff, It’s so brave of you to speak about your health problem! It’s a good idea to make a video about it to raise awareness of the issue. I have the reminder on and i’m ready for the vid. Also your nan is so precious!🥺🧡

I am so proud that she is shedding light on this topic such a hard topic x

It’s honestly great that the community is getting more awareness :D

So inspiring!! Had me in tears as my papa was deaf we didn’t want him left out so always wrote on a notepad for him ❤️

Oh Saff, this has got to be one of the best things about RU-vid. I am so glad you did this. Made me cry.

saffron is such a great person always looking out for others and achieving her goals and making everyone feel happy she should be proud of her self

She’s such an inspiration and uses her channel to such good use xxx love you saffy 💓 xx

My dads partially deaf in one ear and has constant ringing in the other after he had bell's palsy a few years ago. We often have to raise our voices so he can hear us. He's only 44.

i love you saffron. we are here for you, i’ve been a sub for about 4/5 years and have watched you grow 🥺 so proud of how far you’ve come ❤️

This is so touching, had no idea, well done Saffron you should be immensely proud of yourself and your journey. You’re a credit to your family 💖

This literally has me in tears , such brave strong people and I’m definitely about to order my family new face masks x

Never even know saffron was nearly deaf and had to go through this in life 😭 its so sad But it's amazing how she overcame it and turned her life around and was positive and spread positivity and now is one of mine along with manys fav RU-vidr and inspiration Just proves to you a disablity or health problem shouldn’t bring you down and stop you from reaching your full potential

My parents are deaf and I have known sign language all my life. When I saw this video it brought a lot of happiness to my heart , love you so much,Saffron ❤️❤️

I am so grateful that a person like you such an amazing standard/status you care about other people and you understand because I am partially deaf,I can hear but sometimes people would need to repeat or speak a little louder. And I am so happy that instead of being like other people and picking fun on other people and criticizing you help spread awareness. Love u Saf!!!

I think it’s great that you’re raising awareness but I would urge you to start using CC on your videos and insta story if you really cared about being inclusive.

love this, can’t imagine my life without hearing...

Thank you for bringing more awareness. I’m actually hard of hearing and I’m happy that a youtuber like you was able to bring more awareness!❤️

This is an incredible story, I never knew this about you and my heart broke when I heard about your grandad. The fact that your grandad takes himself out of situations he finds hard is so heart warming. I love you and this incredible story xxx

i just want you to know that you are an incredible human being and such an inspiration to thousands of people. Your so brave to share your story, keep doing what your doing i love you x

Ok, in the most kindest way as possible but I am Deaf myself so I just need to comment... I really appreicate you're finally sharing your story regarding your hearing loss BUT you never subtitle your videos? So why are you aiming to raise more awarness about the HOH & Deaf culture?

You know what my respect has gone up even more as someone who is profoundly deaf this last year has been hard but hearing your grandad story and knowing I can relate to it is so heartbreaking 🥺❤️

This is so inspiring on so many levels! I feel like its unlocked another level of realness about Saffron! What an incredible watch and so much respect! 💖

It breaks my heart that Grandad is losing his hearing. I commend him for being resourceful & learning to read lips. Nan is the most compassionate person ... she feels the pain everyone she loves is suffering. From beth

I’m deaf and autistic and I can relate to this so much! My right ear isn’t working and I find it difficult day to day and I have tinnitus, suffer with headaches and get anxious of what people think of me. Music has helped me and calms me down when I get angry.

Can we just appreciate how beautiful saffron’s family are. They seem so kind and supportive of saffron. Especially Peter and ivy. Sweet couple 😌😌

I'm deaf and I cried through the whole of this saffron you are such an inspiration to me and to find out this 🥺🥺. Stay strong girl.

Ive literally only been watching you about three weeks and we have so much in common with loads of different things its so strange to hear someone with some of the same problems.

I’m so proud of you Saffron, this is such a brave and amazing thing to do, I’ll definitely be trying to find one of those masks💖lysm x

My mum and dad are both deaf and they have been dealing with this their whole life, it's good at raise the awareness!!

This is such a sweet kind and loving thing to do saff. I have known that you were hard of hearing but I always forget when watching your videos. Love you so much and I cant wait to watch this❤❤

Omg Saff! I really appreciate this, I’m partially deaf and i wear hearing aids, i relate to jazzy so much and appreciate this video,i love the music video!!! I already have the many masks with the clear boxes and they definitely help! Thanks again and lots of love! 😽💗

Thank you saffron and jazzy to make this deafness awareness, I am struggling with this especially with Covid going on, it put me feel fed up and anger because I feel no one taking notice as i was born deaf💕

this broke my heart. “ people don’t bother talking to him sometimes because they know he can’t hear” 💔 i love u saff and i’m so proud of u for sharing ur story, u will help so so many.

This is so beautiful ☺️ you are such an caring and inspiring person Saf. You are amazing ✨

Thank you so so much Saffron I’m hard of hearing and this is absolutely amazing that you are able to raise awareness for people like me💕

Well done Saffron for raising awareness- My teenage son has a auditory processing disorder his primary school took care of his needs so well, he went to secondary school and the school misunderstanding his needs left him in classrooms unable to follow he had blank pieces of paper at the end of each lesson. The deaf school costs a lot more so the council have left him without any education then a few months after his 13 birthday my 17 year old daughter was diagnosed of blood cancer she is 20 in January and still battling and requires a transplant March her only chance of survival. My son has had to witness his sister battling having gruelling treatment and it’s all through lack of awareness. So glad your hearing was saved by your grandma and parents acting so quickly ❤️❤️xxx

Hearing how ignorant people are towards communicating with your grandad was heartbreaking to hear, bless his sweet soul

For a day as an entrepreneur with school we had to design a brand and me and my friend made these clear masks for the deaf and this website where you could customise them. Well done Saff x

This documentary is beautiful and creating awareness. I started crying when your nan said about you and your grandad

that was such an amazing documentary, well done saffron really proud of you for doing this and showing people how to get through it xxxx

How did I not know you were hard of hearing :/ I’m deaf. This has made my day. Another person showing the world anything is possible with any obstacle thrown at you :) x

This is brilliant! I’m deaf, but this makes me question why you don’t caption/subtitle your stories on Instagram? Xx

Honestly made me so emotional in a happy way. As someone who is also hard of hearing I am so proud of you for opening up/sharing your story and for highlighting and making awareness for this. Thank you❤❤

Saffron your amazing girl, I’m not deaf and I’ve never been through that struggle but this amazing, creating awareness! Your gran and grandpa are adorable✨

My name is Evie and I’ve had hearing loss from cancer treatment. So sorry to hear you grew up with these issues too:( sending love and I’m glad your doing okay. You’ve done such an incredible thing raising awareness for such a important subject so thank you.🥺❤️

I've learned the ASl alphabet either though I am in Britain. I am also a bit HoH as well. As I am in school still it makes it harder to hear sometimes. Thank you saff for what you have done in the RU-vid community.i hope everyone knows that you are an angel -Sophie x

Wow this video was so emotional and I really can’t believe deaf people have to go through that much it’s horrible to hear and saffron you are such a strong person to have been through so much ❤️❤️

I admire you so much saffron. And I’m sure so many other people do as well. Your a true inspiration and I think anyone in your family or that are friends with you are very lucky to know someone as incredible and someone so passionate about everything that you do. I’ve watched you for many years and I have always wanted to grow up and be somewhat as incredible as you🥺❤️

I love you so mugh saffron can't wait for this video you mean the world to me xx 💞

I like that you’re raising awareness, but it does slightly annoy me when you say “I hated it, it was awful” and comments like that, when you don’t have to deal with what deaf people deal with every single day. Yes, you may have been hard of hearing when you were younger but you’re okay now and to me this video seems more like a “feel sorry for me” video rather than a genuinely caring one. It’s just the impression I got, sorry if this comes across as rude.

I am 1/2 deaf and could have easily gone totally deaf, my teacher was the one who discovered it. I have started to try and learn sign language and am so great full for the hearing I have. But I identify with this so much and never realise you were, I had the stuff dripping out of my ears, thank you so much for this.

This is really emotional! But it's so amazing like you can raise so so much awareness and you are because of how known you are. This is an amazing thing Staff! 🥺❤️

Can we also take a minute to appreciate the fact she has added subtitles 🙌

❤ this video can't believe how much Harlow looks like you when you was little xx

Absolutely amazing ❤️ In tears as scary knowing that there are members of our family losing hearing and we don’t know how to support them especially during the different time of COVID. Emotional 😭

This video means so much to me. I wear hearing aids and as a young person it’s so isolating and humiliating. I always think I’m unattractive and labelled and put in a box by society. This video is so amazing. Thank you so much 💕

I used to struggle hearing but over the years my hearing got better

To all the people watching this- hope you have an amazing day💞

My daughter was born hearing impaired , damaged cochlears. Over the last 4 years she had hearing aids but her hearing become worst and she is now profound but thankfully we adventured and got cochlear implants now we are on the journey of heaps of speech therapy. She is still learning how to comprehend just simple things we take for advantage. Like asking what her name is , she can’t understand what your asking her or of her. She is now nearly 5 :) signing is our second language. Honestly one of the beautiful ways to communicate 💙

I just wanna say I respect you soo much babe on how you care about other people and creating awareness just shows what kind of person you really are!! And I’ll always support you always I love you saffron it’s amazing what you do in your in to day life xx ❤️❤️❤️

I didn't know that you were almost deaf!

My granja is going deaf aswell so I can understand where your poor grandad is coming from 🥺❤️

Saffron you are so brave to share your story with us. You inspire me to make me carry on with my treatment story what I’ve been through for the past four year now. Like you in and out of hospital. You are the best , well done saffron 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽🌟🌟🌟

This is so emotional but inspiring, it has made me really want to learn BSL and has made many people aware that there is another world out there that we most likely walk past everyday. Saffron you are such an inspiration. I found this really moving. :) love you x

I can't wait 1 weeekkkk! I really wanna watch rn 🤣

Saffron this is amazing!! Also just checked out you podcast.....so good🤩

until a few months ago i didn't know that you were nearly deaf. i think it's amazing for u to share your experience and story with everyone else xxxx 💖

I honestly didn’t realise Saffron suffered from hearing problems and it’s so so amazing that she is able to share her story to do many people!!! Since covid began I have always thought about how hard it must be for people who rely on lip reading !!! Well done saffron for being so strong and sharing such an amazing story !!! I hope one day I will be in a position that I can help people and make life so much easier 💞💞💞

I’m hard of hearing and I know how hard it is to come out and say it to people x

I’m hard off hearing. I have perforated ear drums due to operations in the past which has lost a lot off my hearing. I wear 2 hearing aids and I struggle with masks as I go by lip reading aswell and the masks interfere my hearing aids.. love watching this saffron Thankyou for inspiring people how it is really like x

Oh Saffron I am so very proud of you! This is why I am a fan of yours because you are raising awareness for topics that need to be talked about more often than not! Keep it up girl you are truly amazing

Thank you so much Saffron! Not only for the video and everything you do but for creating awareness about the deaf community and the masks! Means a lot as my mum is deaf. ❤️

A video about deaf awareness with no closed captions 🙃

To anyone struggling in life there is always someone to talk to, someone who can help and guide you so never feel that you are alone ✨YOU ARE AMAZING AND SPECIAL SO DONT GIVE UP✨

I struggled with hearing loss all my life - now at 32 i finally gave into a hearing aid. I have low frequency hearing loss and i refused all during school to accept I needed support. I just didn't want to be teased. I struggled with miss interpreting coverstations and constantly being told that i'm deaf i'm not hearing things. Its lovely to see someone open up about a simple struggle that hits the heart. P.S. we need some videos with your nanny! I Miss seeing her!

wow saff, this is amazing, i’m so proud of you! this is such a hard and touchy subject to talk about but i’ve learnt some things i never knew! supporting you is the best thing i have ever done i love u ! 🤍

Omg saff this made me cry off relief lm hearing impaired in my left ear and basically deaf in my right... my whole life l literally been alone as it's just easier to be ... lve always been told to speak up because lm to quite but l generally can't tell the difference especially with masks these days! It's really great that your spreading awareness to something l dont hear much about ( no pun indeed lol) Also it's good to know lm not the only one thankyou

You can only like if your here before the premiere has even started ✌🏼

This is amazing Saffron 💕 it’s such an important thing to raise awareness of. You should be so proud xx

Saff I'm so proud of everything in this video - I'm promoting teaching BSL in school and when I saw Jazzy in here I smiled even more ❤️

hey sorry if this sounds rude I'm just curious, when she was getting her nails done could she not have wrote it down in her notes on her phone or something. it just seems a lot easier to communicate that way idk I don't mean to be rude

Saffron is just a role model honestly
